Prices are fair but if you're on the hunt for a bargain, don't miss the sale rack in the back. I loved perusing the women's section of the store for myself although I ultimately did not purchase for me this time. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bearcub is for sure worth a stop if you're in the Petoskey area!

Their service department is outstanding. They carry a ton of parts and offer a lot of services. They were able to service my bike very quickly. Their prices are the best around.

They have all sorts of Petoskey and non-Petoskey related gifts, plus other fun stuff - I also saw a corgi float, for example, and other things. I saw they have some sort of rewards program too where you write your name down on a card and grab the card from the front every time you come in, I think - kind of like a filing system. Interesting and unique. They ALSO have a pressed penny machine here, and I collect pressed pennies, so I was excited about that too.

However, sometimes life intervenes and leaves little choice. Cue a sudden automotive problem while on vacation, hours from home. The only place in town to get an oil change is, in fact, Walmart. I rolled up on a Saturday afternoon while the rain poured down to match my bleak, aggravated mood. An underpaid and highly charming employee gave me directions to the oil change centre while I prayed my car wouldn't implode spontaneously and I still carry memory of his friendly smile on that wretched holiday to hell. I pulled up to the service centre and had 20 minutes to burn in this Super Walmart while they replaced my air filter(s), oil filter, and oil. I credit this Walmart for being cleaner than any other Walmart I've seen, including one on opening day. The place really is spotless with few of the marring features I attribute to the "Walmart Malaise." No clothes lie on the ground, no disorderly racks confound the mind, and the whole place was spic and span. Count me impressed. Through the aisles, everything was stocked and where it should be. Was this the Twilight Zone? The grocery section deserves credit for an appealing display of food and tidiness, too. I ended up picking up a few staples and breezed through the self-checkouts. The attendant was good humoured and friendly. Was this the panacea for my horrible vacation? Alas, it was the only day I spent in Petoskey because I cut my losses and returned home the very day I arrived, sick baby, sick car, and tired family in tow. But I'll say this: the walmart experience was actually enjoyable thanks to a sparkling clean store.

I did not realize how bad it was outside and had already placed a pick up order otherwise I would have just gone in myself. I believe the pickup attendant that assisted that day was named Al. He did an awesome job handing all the pick up orders by himself (there were many cars in the pick up area). Al literally climbed through mounds of snow dragging the cart through and withstanding the crazy winds. Not once did he complain. He was very polite and kind given the circumstances and being short staffed. Al deserves a raise, additional PTO, and recognition. I wish I had cash for him at the time!
